About Us

Governor Bev Perdue came to the Appalachian House late Friday afternoon to sign a declaration—that this week is Solar Homestead week in the state of North Carolina. The governor could not say enough of the pride the project gave her and to the state. ASU’s entry brought home the ‘People’s Choice’ Award from the national competition

in Washington as well as second and third place category prizes. It was announced last week that after next year’s competition, the Solar Decathlon will be looking for a new place to hold the event, and told that, Governor Perdue said she would do what she could to bring the Decathlon to North Carolina.
